1999 Concept 28 Center ConsoleSold

This 28-footer is built on a classic deep-V Concept hull, so it loves to run fast and stay planted when the seas stack up. Step aboard and you’ll notice the wide, uncluttered cockpit that gives you room to work a spread or chase a fish around the bow without tripping over gear. The helm layout offers great sightlines over the bow, and the forward seating doubles as extra insulated storage when you’re loaded for a long day offshore. Freeboard is generous for a 28, giving a secure feel when the chop gets sharp. It’s the kind of hull that still turns heads at the sandbar but truly comes alive when you push the throttles and let it eat.

A 28-foot center console is a sweet spot for these waters: big enough to run comfortably through afternoon wind chop, yet compact enough to tuck into shallower bays and tight marina slips. The Concept’s sharp entry and aggressive deadrise help it slice through confused seas that often build where inlets meet open water. You get the speed and range to hop between distant reefs, wrecks, and nearshore structure in a single day, while still having the maneuverability to work along rocky shorelines or winding channels. It’s equally at home trolling offshore, drifting inlets for gamefish, or spending a lazy day beached on a quiet sandbar with friends.
